Ernest’s ‘ERNvitational’ raised over a hundred thousand dollars for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, whose mission is to provide food to people facing hunger and work to advance hunger solutions.
“What an honor it is to be involved with @2harvestmidtn! We raised over $154,000 this week to help deliver food to and feed families all over the country. Thank you to the sponsors and friends that showed up for a good time and a GREAT cause,” Ernest posted on Instagram.
Ernest shared a series of photos to social media capturing their fun out on the golf course while raising money for a great cause. The Nashville hitmaker also addressed his crowd thanking them for their support and even playing them a few songs. You can watch the clip here.
Most recently, the country hitmaker announced that he will release his next album, Nashville, Tennessee, on April 22, with a viral campaign. Ernest, who is currently running for “MayERN,” asked for his fellow country stars, friends, and family to help him “legalize country music.”
On the same days, Ernest dropped five new songs including “I Went To College / I Went To Jail” featuring Jelly Roll, “Ain’t As Easy,” “Why Dallas” featuring Lukas Nelson, “How’d We Get Here,” and “Ain’t Too Late.”
The album, Nashville, Tennessee will also feature previously released tracks and fan favorites “Kiss Of Death” and “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room” as well as collaborations with Wallen, Hardy, Lainey Wilson, and his son, Ryman.
